Directions: Read the following passage to answer the given questions based on it. Some words/phrases are printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. <br><br> Vishnu Raman was an Indian magistrate who lived about a hundred years ago. He was famed for the fairness of his judgements. One day while the magistrate was walking through the market he saw a crowd outside a poultry shop. On enquiring what the matter was he learnt that a worker had accidentally dropped a heavy sack on a chicken, crushing it to death. The chicken was small, worth only about five rupees, but the owner of the shop had caught the worker by his throat and was demanding a hundred rupees. His argument was that the chicken would have grown into a plump bird in another two years and then it would have fetched him the amount he was asking for. Somebody in the crowd recognized the magistrate, and everybody made way for him. <br><br> 'Judge our case, your honour!' said the owner of the chicken, letting go of the worker and bowing respectfully to the magistrate. 'This man, through his carelessness has caused the death of a chicken that would have fetched me a hundred coins in another two years!' Fear had made the worker's speech incoherent. Nobody could understand what he was saying. 'The price put on the chicken is hundred rupees', said the magistrate, to the worker. 'I advise you to pay the owner.' There was a gasp from the crowd. Everybody had expected the magistrate to favour the poor worker. The owner of the chicken was overjoyed. 'They said you were fair in your judgements' he said, rubbing his hands in glee, 'Now I can say there is no one fairer than you!' <br><br> 'The Law is always fair', smiled the magistrate. 'Tell me, how much grain a chicken would eat in a year? 'About half a sack', said the poultry shop owner. 'So in two years the chicken who died would have eaten a whole sack of grain', said Vishnu Raman. 'Please give the sack of grain you've saved to the worker.' The chicken owner turned pale. A sack of grain would cost more than hundred rupees. Frightened by the shouts from the crowd, he declared he would not take any money from the worker, and retreated into the safety of his shop in the end.
